TEAM BERNARDI… At the launch of the rebranded Forbes store on Saturday were from the left Joseph, Tony, David and Peter Bernardi.
Bernardi Group Exit IGA To Live Well For Less
The four large format supermarkets of the Bernardi Group will exit the IGA brand and transition to the new Bernardi’s Live Well For Less brand over the next six months. Joseph Bernardi, CEO of Bernardi’s Supermarket said the move would enable the business to deliver increased promotions on a wider range of goods. “Customers can still expect to find all the products they know and love,” said Joseph. “The change will also generate more exciting specials, particularly across the fresh produce, meat, deli and bakery departments.” The group will expand their footprint of fresh food in each store to offer customers the same variety on offer in major metropolitan centres. The company’s Pick Local campaign aims to support local producers. All supermarkets
stock bread from Earlyrise Baking Company in Dubbo, dips and sauces form Orange’s Fresh Fodder, milk from Little Big Dairy in Dubbo, as well as four from Manildra, to name a few. The newly rebranded Forbes store was launched on Saturday. “When you spend locally, those funds are directly channeled back into the community. This cycle supports jobs in the community, helps the environment and ensures the long-term survival of our town,” said Joseph. The store was packed with people to take advantage of the specials and prizes, wine tasting and other activities. Bernardi’s in Forbes and Blayney have been rebranded, while the transition in West Wyalong and Bathurst will take place early in the new year.

MAYORAL NOTES The Legend of Ben Hall movie premiere was absolutely fantastic on Saturday night. A presentation was made by me on behalf of the community to the cast and crew to show our appreciation for bringing the premiere back to our town. The Long Lunch by the Lake on Sunday raised over $20,000 and was a great credit to Debbie Roylance and her committee. Now Forbes and Parkes will have their own physio touch machines as there was a fundraiser in Parkes the night before that raised money for the machines as well. On Sunday afternoon, the Nissan Golf Classic was held at the Forbes Golf Course and it was a success with players from across NSW attending. Well done to Forbes’ John Betland who won the event. Vanfest is next weekend and the grounds are in top order. Tickets are still available, make sure you get yours! Yesterday was our November Council meeting and l will report on the outcomes next week. Don’t forget to have your say at one of our Forbes Community Plan 2027 workshops. Visit www.forbes.localvoices.com.au or call Council on 68502300 to find out the dates. Please fill in the survey that was delivered to your home this week either by reply paid envelope or online at the website above. This will help create a plan for the next ten years that is reflective of what the community wants Council to achieve. Mayor Graeme Miller

What did you think of the world premiere of The Legend of Ben Hall?
Peter, Ruby, Matilda, Katie and Georgina Stitt: It was great to see all the actors here. We loved the film. The scenery was very familiar. Our friend now lives in the old police house, where Ben Hall’s body was laid out.
James and Georgia Butt: We own the property where Ben Hall was shot by the police. It was a good movie – it compares well with the book.
Geoff Field, Virginia Mather (nee Hall) and Glenda Stace: Geoff: It was excellent. Virginia: I am a great granddaughter of Ben Hall’s elder brother. It was an excellent portrayal of the story. Glenda: My great grandmother was Ben Hall’s sister. The movie was really, really well done.

Siloscopes, the new interactive sculpture installed at the Forbes Hospital this week.
Interact With New Sculpture At Hospital A new contemporary sculpture has been installed outside the main entrance at Forbes Hospital this week as one of the final stages of the hospital’s redevelopment. Siloscopes was created by internationally acclaimed Blue Mountains based artists Hugo Moline and Heidi Axelsen. They were chosen from a competitive submission process earlier this year and commissioned to create the artwork. The two artists spent four days living and working with a Forbes farmer, learning about the tools, challenges and experiences of life on the land. Siloscopes is an interactive set of five pieces that resemble seed silos. The work reflects farm life and invites people to interact with each of the silos. “We wanted to create a work which enables visitors to reflect on these elements of farm life. The work invites people to interact with a humble seed silo in such a way as
to transform it from an ordinary piece of equipment into a new kind of device,” the artists said. The five pieces are called River, Stars, Bones, Sun and Rain. Each is a different size and shape and features a different design on the inside that people can view from standing below the silo and looking through a viewing area. The River silo features a gold leaf interior with a map of the Lachlan River. The Stars silo has a black interior with holes drilled into the roof of the chamber to match constellations and Bones represents bleached sheep rib bones lining the inside of the viewing chamber. In Sun the viewing chamber acts as a sun dial, and in the Rain silo the upturned lip of the roof collects water into a scoop. When the scoop fills with water it tips the internal tray, causing a bell to ring out.

Bigger Than Ben Hall The infamous bushranger Ben Hall held Forbes captive last Saturday night as he rode into town in the independently produced feature film The Legend of Ben Hall. The notorious character was larger than life as his story was projected onto a huge inflatable screen at the Forbes Showground for the audience of 900 people who attended the world premiere. Lead actor Jack Martin bore an uncanny resemblance to the outlaw, and his brooding portrayal won many fans, and quite a few hearts. “I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting him,” he joked. “But I did a lot of research and felt a great affinity with him,” he said. Jamie Coffa plays John Gilbert, Ben’s partner-in-crime. Jamie said the cast had to do a horse riding crash-course for the film. “It was the most challenging part of filming,” he said. “Doing dialogue, on a horse, while shooting a gun; they don’t teach you how to do that at drama school.” The film is the brainchild of writer/director/ producer Matthew Holmes, and has been his enduring passion for the best part of a decade. Matthew was slowly crowd-funding the finance, when Forbes Shire Council got involved. With their faith in the project, momentum quickly picked up, and the team

was able to embark on production. “The scope of the project was epic,” Matthew said. “We were constantly facing a battle of the budget.” The film was shot in locations across regional NSW and Victoria and the production took a grueling two years to complete. The filmmakers were delighted to bring the film back to the heart of Ben Hall country for its premiere screening. “We are so grateful for the support from Forbes Shire Council, and it was great to be able to bring the film back to where it all started,” Matthew said.

Are Core Stability Exercises A Good Idea? Everybody knows the plank exercise, but does performing this type of core stability exercise actually help people with low back pain? Physiotherapists, Professor Peter O’Sullivan from Curtin University and Professor Paul Hodges from The University of Queensland, wrote the book on spinal stability exercises. They did a lot of research into the abdominal muscles in the 1990’s and the focus on Transversus Abdominis came from their work. So what are they saying now? The plank exercise involves a person on their elbows and toes while holding their body stiff for a period of time. This is not what core stability means, says Professor Hodges. If you think about most functions, we actually need the spine to move. Core stability is about getting the spine to move. Professor O’Sullivan says many people with back pain are already too rigid. Their muscles have already tensed up as a protective mechanism due to pain. Static exercises like planking can actually be counterproductive. Tensing up a structure that is already tense doesn’t make much sense. Instead we should be relaxing the muscles around our trunk when we have back pain. So where does that leave us? Should we be telling the gym instructor to take a jump next time they ask for a plank? If we don’t have low back pain planks are fine. Better still are dynamic exercises that require us to naturally activate our core muscles such as squats. If we have low back pain, core activation exercises along with movement and learning to turn off over active muscles beat planks hands down. The spine is designed to move. “For the fitness of you” Linda Reilly

Long Lunch Raises Thousands
More than 150 people supported the Long Lunch By The Lake on a very windy Sunday afternoon to raise funds for a good cause. The aim was to raise enough for a physio touch machine for the Forbes and Parkes Hospitals. According to organiser Debbie Roylance the target of $32,000 was reached. With money from ticket sales for the lunch, $3,732 from the raffle, the auction and pledges raised $12,485 with the help of auctioneer Kevin Miller, the Breast Cancer Support Group donated $2,000 and funds previously held, the target was reached. “We are absolutely delighted with the response and support from the community, and a special thank you to the businesses and individuals who have donated both to the raffle and the auction,” said Debbie. Businesses from both Parkes and Forbes supported the event, with about one third of the people at the lunch from Parkes. The physio touch machine has immediate results as it helps to reduce swelling and pain, and improve the range of motion of lymphedema patients. The machine can
also be used in general scar tissue management and inflammation post-surgery, such as post hip or knee replacement. The order will be placed for two machines for the hospitals as soon as the money is in the bank. The machines will be placed in the physio departments at each hospital. Debbie thanked all the volunteers for their help. By Cheryl Newsom

Community Chest Charity Raffle Program A Big Help Twelve community groups have so far received financial assistance in the Community Chest Charity Raffles Program of the Forbes Services Memorial Club (FSMC) since its inception a year ago. More than $28,000 have been raised and donated to local community groups. President of FSMC, Wayne Richards, said: “The progam is a new initiative of the Club’s CEO, David Fitzgerald and the Board of Directors. It is not just a gift to the recipients, but also to the whole community as it will provide additional financial support to local community organisations.” David said the money could not have been raised without the support of the Club’s members and guests who purchase raffle tickets every Wednesday and Friday night. “A big thank you to all.” If your community organisation or sporting group is looking for assistance, send a letter to the Board of Directors to be included in the program. Two more recipients, the Forbes Women’s Refuge and Friends of Forbes Hospital, will receive donations today.

Bankruptcy: What Happens? When you are declared bankrupt, your house may be sold and most of your other assets will become the property of your trustee. These include your bank account (if it has credit funds), business, shares, any tools of trade above $3,700 and any other assets, except personal items and most household goods. The trustee will try and convert all assets into cash and after deducting fees, will distribute such funds (if any) to creditors. You will no longer be allowed to be a company director, nor stand for public office or continue in public office. You may work for a wage or salary, but might have to make regular repayments to the trustee. Bankruptcy lasts for three years unless extended by the court. After discharge your name will appear on the National Personal Insolvency Index forever and on credit reporting agencies’ records for two years from the date of discharge, or up to five years from the date you became bankrupt, whichever is later. If there is property vested in the trustee and it has not yet been dealt with, you don’t automatically get it back. The administration of your bankruptcy may continue after discharge. According to the Bankruptcy Act says a discharged bankrupt must still assist the trustee to finalise administration of the bankruptcy, advise the trustee of any change of address, provide information about financial circumstances and pay outstanding income contributions. You also have to give up secured assets if required by the relevant secured creditors and pay debts that are not released by bankruptcy, such as penalties and fines.

FORBES SPORT Classic Weekend A Success
HORSE LISTENER… Horseman Tony Ernst shared his wisdom with students of the Cutting Clinic at Sahara Park Riding School last weekend.
Cowboy Logic At Sahara Park
A dozen cutting horse enthusiasts joined world-renowned horseman Tony Ernst for a weekend workshop at the Sahara Park Riding School last weekend. The riders and their horses came from across the state to refine their skills under Tony’s expert instruction. Tony is one the most sought after and highly respected horsemen in the world. He has developed a unique approach to horsemanship, based on respect, attitude, and breathing. “Horse whisperers are for Hollywood,” he said. “You’ve got to be a horse listener.” Tony stressed that his approach isn’t just about helping horses, it’s about helping people. And he has helped a lot of people. Aside from cutting horse enthusiasts, Tony has delivered workshops for troubled students, and has also run corporate clinics to help executives enhance their leadership skills.
It all comes down to earning respect. “You have to prove you’re someone worth following,” he said. “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Tony believes that a lot of wisdom is found in adversity. Listening to his story, it becomes clear where his wisdom was forged. In his youth Tony was involved in an horrific accident and was confined to a wheelchair for three years until he taught himself to walk again. He credits his recovery to a positive attitude, his practice of Kung Fu, and the power of breathing exercises. This formed the foundations for Tony’s unique horsemanship program, which he has branded Cowboy Logic. “The only thing you’ve really got control of in this world is your attitude,” he said. By Raen Fraser
